Named after chef Fergus Henderson, who describes it as "a cure for any overindulgence" and says the recipe was one of his father's. The Dr. Henderson is served at all his St. John's Restaurants across London.
Review:
Minty amaro thinned and cooled by ice. Looks medicinal, smells medicinal, and tastes a little medicinal. Best prescribed as a digestivo.
